Andy like USMNT again, but Gooch remains unconvinced. Miguel Almiron has been sold for an MLS record fee. Giovinco could be on his way out as well. Not to be outdone, Kaku is wants to leave and is tweeting through it.

Ike Opara has been traded to Minnesota United, and Andy and Charles breakdown the trade from all sides (7:35). What was Peter Vermes' thought process in dealing the former defender of the year (27:57)? What will Sporting do moving forward (42:02)?

On today's episode, Andy sits down with Sporting KC new boys Kelyn Rowe (3:30) and Rodney Wallace (12:00) to talk about their first impressions of their new city and team. Rowe talks about being Mr. Versatility, the trade that brought him to KC this winter, and why he makes it a point to be so involved in the community. Wallace walks us through his free-agency process and how/why he picked KC, playing left back (again), and being teammates with Graham Zusi a decade ago in college.
